GEORGE W. COLE, OF ASBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO G. W.
COLE COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.
TOE-CLIP FOR BICYCLES.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 707,209, dated August 19, 1902.
Application filed November 25, 1901. SerialNo. 83,498. (No model.)
To all whom, it ppm-y concern: Be it known that I, GEORGE W. COLE, a citizen of the United States of America, and
I a resident of Asbury Park, State of New Jer-. sey, have invented certain new and useful- Improvements in Toe-Clips for-Bicycles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in toe-clips for bicycles;
top and bottom portions of said stirrup. By"
this construction a yielding toe-clip which will not injure the foot of the rider and which is more durable and cheap to manufacture is produced.
The invention also consists in certain de! tails of construction and combination of parts,
' which will be first specifically'described and then pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, wherein the same part is designated by the same reference-numeral wherever it occurs, Figure. 1 is a perspective view of my invention. Fig.
2 is a section thereof, showing how the parts of the clip are secured together.
1 indicates a wire frame which is bent into a stirrup-like form, and the ends of this frame are bent down, as shown at 2, and form the lower part of the clip which is attached to the pedal. Preferably the lower ends of the part2 are bent at right angles to catch under the lower side of the pedal when the clip is attached thereto.
3 indicates a bolt,and4 a nut thereon, by meansof which the clip is attached to the pedal in the ordinary manner.
5 indicates a lateral projecting offset por- 'tion which is bent out from the stirrup 1 and is of a width substantially equal to that of 50 the strip 6.
6 indicates a strip of leather or other suitany suitable manner.
able material which is fastened in the projection 5 by means of a rivet 70r in any other suitable manner, and'the other end of this strip is attached tothe attaching-plate '8 in Preferably, however, by cuttingin the plate 8 the tongues 9 and bending these down through the leather, as more clearly indicated in Fig. 2, the plate 8 has an enlarged end 10, and in this end is a slot 11, through which the ends 2 of the stirrup project and. by means of which they are prevented from spreading. The end 10 of the plate 8 is then bent around the stirrupwire, as is clearly shown in Fig. 2.
A toe-clip manufactured in the way above described is exceedingly cheap and durable.
The strip of leather or other suitable mate rial will yield when the foot is placed in the clip'and conform itse'lf to the shape of the shoe of the rider. I Many other advantages of this clip will be apparent to any one skilled in the art. 7-
While I have shown and described What I believe to be the preferred form of my invention, I desire it to beunderstood that many changes might be made therein and parts substituted without departing from the spirit thereof. What I'claimas new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 'is
1. Ina toe-clip for bicycles, the combination with a loop formed of wire or other snit-' able material, a plate uniting the ends of said loop to hold the same in position, tongues bent out from said plate a strip of leather or other suitable material, one end of'which' is secured to said plate by said tongues and the other end secured to said 100p.
2. In a toe-clip for bicycles, the combination of a loop formed of wire or other suitable material, and provided with a laterally-projecting offset at or abou'tthe middleof 'said loop; a plate uniting the ends of said loop to hold the same in positio n; ,tongues bent out from said plate; a strip' -of leatheror other suitable material, one end of which is secured to said plate by said tongues, and the other end secured to said loop.
3. In a toe-clip for bicycles, the combination with a loop formed of wire or other suitable material, and provided with a laterallyprojecting offset at or about the middle of said loop, the ends of said wire being bent out of said loop to form part of the fastening means to secure said clip to a pedal; a plate uniting the ends of said loop to hold the same in position, said plate being provided with tongues bent out from said plate; a strip of leather one end of which is secured to the laterally-projecting offset in said loop and the other end secured to said plate by said tongues.
4. In a toe-clip for bicycles, the combination with a loop formed of wire or other suitable material, a clamp consisting of a bolt and nut or other suitable construction for fastening the clip to a pedal, a plate uniting the ends of said loop to hold the same in position, tongues bent out from said plate; a strip of leather or other suitable material, one end of which is secured to the plate by said tongues and the other end secured to said 100p.
Signed by me at New York, county and State of New York, this 19th day of November, 1901.
